Just hit 500 saved prompts in my notes app and it feels wild

I was cleaning out my phone and saw the folder count. I started saving random ideas there like 2 years ago after a writing workshop in Phoenix. It's everything from 'a detective who only solves crimes in IKEA' to 'what if someone's superpower was perfect parallel parking'. Anyone else have a massive backlog of prompts they'll probably never use?

What's the difference between a backlog and a graveyard, really?

Ever think of it as a compost pile for ideas instead?

Call that a backlog? Sounds like a graveyard. Those ideas are dead weight if you never touch them. Better to have ten good ones you actually use.
